Because the constant opening and closing of the clubface would make ball location extremely critical. If it not correct then the putt would either be pushed or pulled by the open or closed clubface.



Each of the Three Hinge Actions, properly executed, are equally accurate. But herein lies the rub: Most Players are unable to apply Horizontal Hinge Action as consistently as either Angled or Vertical.

However, Bobby Locke, perhaps the greatest putter who ever lived, had absolutely no problem with it!
